Autonomous Republic of Crimea

While performing a training mission over the Azov Sea, the fire alarm sounded in the cockpit after a hotline located near the right engine broke off, causing hot air to spread in the right wing. In a hurry, the crew mistakenly shut down both engines. The aircraft lost speed and height then crashed into the Sea about 12 km off Obitochnaya. Two crew members were rescued while two others were killed.

Brakes and tires overheated during a pre-takeoff inappropriate taxiing manoeuvre at Kiev-Borispol Airport. During the takeoff roll at Borispol Airport, at a speed of 135 km/h, the crew was instructed to abandon the takeoff as he did not receive any clearance. The crew interrupted the procedure and was later cleared for a second departure. During this manoeuvre, brakes and tires overheated again. Upon touchdown at Simferopol Airport, a tire located on the right main gear exploded. Debris struck the lower part of the right wing and punctured a fuel tank. Fuel spilled and a fire erupted. The crew was able to stop the plane on the runway and all 65 occupants were evacuated, among them 29 passengers were injured. The aircraft was partially destroyed by fire.

The airplane was engaged in a local flight consisting in pesticides spraying on vineyards. On board were one agronomist and one pilot. The mission started at 1505LT and two first missions were completed successfully. During the third circuit, while flying at low height, the pilot attempted to avoid power cables and initiated a evasive manoeuvre when the airplane, at a speed of 163 km/h, struck an electric pylon and crashed in flames. Both occupants were killed.

En route from Stavropol to Simferopol, while cruising at an altitude of 2,400 meters in icing conditions, the left engine failed, followed 14 seconds later by the failure of the right engine. The crew informed ATC about the situation then lost control of the airplane that entered a dive and eventually crashed in the Sivash gulf, about 24 km southeast of Emelyanovka, Crimea, 10 km offshore. The airplane disintegrated on impact, the wreckage sank and all 26 occupants were killed. Refloat operations were conducted from October 24 till November 18, 1978.

While cruising over Crimea on behalf of the Zavodskoi OAO, the crew decided to cut the route short when the single engine aircraft collided with a mountain. There were no casualties.

After landing on Lake Donuzlav, the seaplane hit a floating object, went out of control and sank. Three crew members were killed while a fourth occupant was rescued.

The airplane was completing a flight from Simferopol to Kerch, carrying six members of the Ministry of the Interior. On approach, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with fog, clouds down to 100 meters above the ground and a visibility limited to 500 meters. On final, at a speed of 220 km/h, the pilot-in-command decided to reduced his altitude to establish a visual contact with the ground when the airplane struck a concrete block of a power line. Flying at a height of 17 meters below the runway altitude, the airplane struck a house and crashed in flames some 2,610 meters short of runway. All four crew members and two passengers were killed while five other occupants were killed.

An engine failed during flight and the crew was cleared to divert to Simferopol Airport for an emergency landing. After touchdown, the airplane overran and came to rest. There were no casualties while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff from Lake Donuzlav, while in initial climb by night, the seaplane struck a flock of birds, stalled and crashed into the sea. All four crew members were killed. They were engaged in a local training mission.

The crew was flying at an altitude of 1,500 meters in VFR mode above the clouds when he received the permission by ATC to descent to 400 meters. While cruising in cloudy conditions at the altitude of 950 meters, the airplane hit tree tops, nosed down and crashed in flames in a wooded area located in Privetnoye. The wreckage was spotted on the slope of Mt Kharpuzyany Kayas and all 12 occupants have been killed.
